Premier League: 10 questions for the weekend

It’s not hard to see why Watford are every Premier League hipster’s favourite
team. A well-journeyed Spaniard, straight out of the Juan Roman Riquelme
school of playmaking? Check: look no further than Jose Manuel Juardo. Rags
to riches, Roy of the Rovers style skipper? Hello, Troy Deeney. And an
immaculately groomed, fancy continental manager, whose godfather is Alfredo
Di Stéfano? Take a bow, Quique Sánchez Flores.

The only problem is that it’s becoming increasingly difficult to see where
Watford are going to pick up their points from. The season began in
encouraging fashion, as they salvaged a late draw against Everton. But they
have failed to score in their last three games, and now have a tricky home
fixture, as they host in-form Swansea City. Only a complete and utter idiot
would make relegation predictions this early in the season, however at this
moment in time their relegation looks a certain certainty that is
indisputably certain, and you can quote me on that come May.
